We want what we want when we want it but it will not always happen when we want it to, that's just life.

Timing plays a vital role in our lives and when we understand timing, we understand that we are right where we need to be rather than stressing over where we should be.

Life

We pray for more success, more money, more love etc and when we don't get it, we're disappointed and we start to feel like the universe is against us.

The universe isn't against you, the timing just may not be right. When you want more, you have to become more, sometimes God will make us go through some experiences before He brings His plan to fruition and grants us what we want.

Sometimes, God has better in store for us and what we're praying for is too mediocre compared to what lies ahead.

Sometimes, the people in our lives need us and "more success" would mean that we can't play the role in their lives that God needs us to.

Sometimes, it's just not meant to be.

Sometimes, we just honestly aren't ready. There is so much more to learn and do before we get to the next level. Instead of complaining, be honest and determine if you are blocking your own blessings. You may be the very reason that the time isn't right.

You need to start preparing for what you are praying for. More doing, less wishing.

Relationships

I never really understood how people could say, "right person, wrong time," like how could the time be wrong? If you really want something, you would find a way to make it work but after an experience I had, I totally get it.

Timing is vital when it comes to romantic relationships. Forcing something when one or both of you aren't ready can ruin what has the potential to be beautiful.

Stop forcing things, what's meant to be will be.

It's better to be single than to be in a relationship that is going nowhere fast.

Relationships require communication, time, effort and many other factors. If both of you are not ready and have not evolved into the person that your significant other needs you to be, it can go downhill very fast. In some situations, both of you may be "ready" but due to your career and other responsibilities, the timing may just not be feasible.

Investing in a relationship at the wrong time can be a distraction and it can also stifle your growth because you can no longer only think about you, you have to think about your partner also.

We're human and it's normal to want success and love now but when things don't work out the way you envisoned, you have to accept that everything happens in its own time. Complaining and worrying will not change your circumstances so keep your head up, get to work and have faith that God will bring everything to you at the perfect time. You can have it all.
